The Bay State Summer Games, Massachusetts’ own Olympic-style sports festival, celebrates its 29th year in 2010. More than 7,000 athletes from more than 300 Massachusetts cities and towns will compete in 24 different sports. Medical support for the Summer Games is provided by 75-100 Physicians, Athletic Trainers, EMT’s and student athletic trainers, all of whom volunteer their time for the various events. The Bay State Games is seeking volunteers who are willing to support the Games and donate some of their time to assist athletes from across the commonwealth.

Bay State Summer Games events will be held from July 5 through July 18. Competitions are held at multiple venues in eastern and central Massachusetts. The Bay State Games medical team blends physicians, certified athletic trainers, student trainers and EMT’s at various venues. The Bay State Games provides medical kits and basic supplies. Volunteers can select the days, times, sports and venues with which they would like to be involved.

If you can work a single day or multiple days, your support would be greatly appreciated. The Games also provide you an opportunity to work in sports where you already have a lot of experience or to try new sports that you would like to become more familiar with. You can commit to any day, sport and/pr venue that you are interested in.

The Games provide medical staff polo shirts, Bay State Games jackets, lunch and other amenities for volunteers. In addition, all medical staffers who volunteer to work at the 2010 Bay State Summer Games will receive free admission to the fifth annual Children’s Hospital Divisions of Sports Medicine Marino Lecture and Sports Medicine Conference in the fall.  

Sports details, competition information and registration materials for all Summer Games events can be found as of April 1, 2010 at: SUMMER INFORMATION http://www.baystategames.org/html/bsgwww/Summer/registration.asp
